How do you halachically determine who's right in the dispute and who should eat the loss? Are you relying on AMEX's beis din?
That’s a good answer to his question as it brings up that there may be an issue but there is definitely a case to be made that he signed up to accept payments through their platform knowing it is subject to their rules which include chargebacks.

Quote
It is not worth the chance of partaking of food that was stored under a bed. This is so even when there is special protection like on Sukkos or the first night of Pesach. The special protection is only effective against “mazikin” (Demons) and not for “ruach raha” (Bad spirits). It is definitely not worth losing sleep over it.
Is there a difference between שדים and רוח רע?

I think Rashi is referring to a ruach raah that enters a person and overtakes their personality.

Random example:
סנהנדרין סה ע״ב
המרעיב עצמו והולך ולן בבית הקברות כדי שתשרה עליו רוח טומאה
Rashi explains ruach tuma is referring to שד של בית הקברות.

This fellow is assuming they are separate things.

RYBs always said to give the food to someone who isn't makpid - bisheim Rav Elyashiv zatzal.
(He said even though this is brought in halacha, for some reason there are people who aren't makpid.)

Is it not? :)

Ok here is a different one:
ראש השנה כח עמוד א
התוקע לשד
רש״י- להבריח רוח רע מעליו

Did anyone here ever hear about why we only do Rishon of the next weeks Parsha on Shabbos Mincha, Monday, and Thursday and not Rishon, Sheni, Shelishi (or something else)?

There is no reason to do more.
תפסת מועט תפסת תפסת מרובה לא תפסת

Rishon sheni etc are not real breakups btw. They were invented by random people.

There is much more to these breaks than meets the eye.

Reminds me of the guy who said a mazel there's no Kriah shabbos by mincha, else he'd miss it every week...

Besides for ensuring that the stop is halachikly in order ie 3 verses from the paragraph?
I think not.

There are other parts to it too such as not to be misayem bdavar ra.  When I was young Rav Pessin ZTL from Monsey went through some with me including some aspects I didn't fully grasp. He used to have the baal koreh or gabbai ask him where to add whenever they did.
